Bulletproof Love

FLASHBACK
Emily’s POV:

“Em, Alex is here!” Mike yelled from down the stairs. I ran down and swung the door open so I saw Alex. He was all dressed up and looked so good, he wore a maroon button down shirt and khaki skinny jeans. Lucky for me I looked good too, I wore a red dress that wasn’t too tight, but it was just right.

“You look amazing” Alex said as he scanned me so he could take in the full picture. I motioned for him to follow me and we ran up the stairs. We walked into my room and layed on my bed.

“So are you ready for a new year? A brand new start” Alex asked looking straight at me. I nodded and he smiled. “Me too, my band and I finally have a band name, I think we are going to get signed soon!” he said excitedly. I rolled over and reached for my notebook. I wrote “What name?” and showed it to him. He pointed to the bracelet I had made him. “All Time Low” he whispered so close to my face. I smiled as his warm breathe hit my forehead.

“Hey, do you want to go steal some drinks from downstairs?” I whispered.

“Hell yeah, I do!” he said standing up and fixing his shirt. We both quietly snuck out of my room and went to the kitchen; to our luck it was vacant. Alex pulled out four beers and a bottle of vodka and shoved it into my dress.

“That’s fucking cold!” I whispered while trying not to laugh. We quickly ran back to my room and burst out laughing when the door shut behind us. He high fived me and quickly cracked open our beers.

“Cheers to a new year and a new start!” he exclaimed. We took a huge sip of our drinks and Alex pulled me into a tight hug. We sat there for what felt like forever, just holding each other. The TV started counting down and so did Alex.

“5, 4, 3, 2…” Alex counted down but when he reached one he turned looked me straight in the eyes and kissed me. I felt my face turn bright red and I smiled into our kiss.

“Happy New Year” he whispered as he pulled away. I am too lucky.
